According to an official notice released by the office of the Mayor of South Bend, Mayor Steve Luecke will reportedly announce new environmental initiatives to be taken by the city. These initiatives “will keep our community moving forward and result in reduced energy use, lower costs and enhanced beautification”.

Citizens are urged to attend this important press conference to show their support and commitment for a cleaner, greener and more sustainable South Bend. I plan on attending and asking Mayor Luecke and any other administration officials or Common Council members at the event about progress on hydroelectric power in South Bend.

Walk, ride your bike or take the bus to the event, if you can. Automobile parking is available in the Kids Kingdom parking lot located behind the Conservatories and Greenhouse. To enter the Conservatory, please walk through the park, along the west side of the facility and enter the building at the front doors on Mishawaka Avenue.
